UPSKILLING THE NATION’S DIGITAL CONTENT CREATORS
Malaysia, as it now stands, has become a regional hub for creative content development and is now looking to amplify its capabilities and take on the role of a regional powerhouse. Critical to this is the continuous growth and development of the digital creative content industry. This includes developing, expanding, and evolving the core pillars for this space, such as videogames and e-games, digital arts, creative writing, visual effects, and animation.
There are multiple initiatives that digital content creators can consider to sign-up for – from grants to pitches, varied industry networking sessions, and ecosystem support. Key among them is the Digital Content Enrichment & Upskilling Programme (DICE-UP).
